Connection from C # to the digital scale

I am trying to figure out a method of connecting from C # code to a digital scale. Of particular weight is the Ohaus SP202 Digital Scale, which comes with a USB connection. I would like to read the weight measured on a scale programmatically. I don't have a scale yet, I'm just doing research in front of my hand.

Has anyone done this before? I do research on the Internet and have not found anything worth mentioning.

I don't know any details on this scale, but I did some USB things.

Most likely, it uses a usb interrupt to transmit data. All usb mice also use interrupt, so if you can understand how to read a mouse signal (using the HID api), then it should be exactly the same as the scale, except that the data format returned will be completely different.
